I don't know about yours but my compressor will keep running no matter how high the pressure gets; I was amazed I didn't burn it up.

I'm not sure what fail-safe triggered the shut down. Last night, nothing was running. It just made a relay type sound every minute or so. The fan motor was hot and the compressor REALLY hot.
This morning, I thought I'd give it another go. The fan and compressor both kicked-on, but it looked an unbalanced washing machine. I saw a bit of condensation on the compressor outlet on the inside -- but it stopped at the collector (or whatever it is -- could be a reverser for the heat pump).
I hear from HVAC forums that capacitors and relays frequently fail -- especially on this cheap-O brand. Hopefully the compressor itself is fine, since that would require more labor ($ out-of-pocket) time. We shall see.
